HIEROPHANT has decided to share a drum cam video for their track 'Devil Incarnate', performed live at Bronson Club – Revanna (IT). This track hails from their latest release 'Death Siege', brought to fans by Season of Mist Underground Activists on August 26, 2022. The drum cam video can be watched here:

In the recent past, the band has made amendments to their announced European journey for the summer, adding the formidable HELLFEST to their tour roster!
HIEROPHANT expresses, 'While we are beyond stoked and ready to start the 'Summer Terror Annihilation' tour playing amazing festival throughout Europe, nothing feels like playing hometown shows. Hear the deafening screams of 'Devil Incarnate' (live at Bronson Club, Ravenna – Italy) and join now the Death Siege.'
The group will be on tour to promote their recently launched offering 'Death Siege'. This album is available for orders at the Season of Mist shop.
HIEROPHANT's Lorenzo contemplates over 'Controlled Chaos', finally settling on the phrase as it encapsulates the essence of what they stand for – a form of chaos with purpose. The guitarist and vocalist of the Ravena-based band HIEROPHANT is reserved when it comes to over-the-top statements. However, when he claims that Death Siege is 'the best thing we ever did and the one album when HIEROPHANT really comes on its own', it carries weight.
Lots of events have transpired since their previous album, Mass Grave in 2016 – initially dubbed as a vicious fusion of black sludge and death metal. Starting with the release of a two-track EP called Spawned Abortions in 2018, this marked the start of their directional shift in their sound, which has now come into fruition with the album 'Death Siege'.
The remainder of the article will continue to tell the history and transformation of the band, from their starting out as a hardcore band with metal influences, to the point where Lorenzo took over as the vocalist in 2015, marking the start of their evolution. It will detail the recording process of 'Death Siege', which was created during the pandemic. The shift in the band's musical direction, from more grind-ish to a more metal and riff-oriented sound, will also be highlighted.
The article will also discuss the band's philosophy, with Death Siege carrying war metaphors, lyrics about complete annihilation and themes of impending doom. It will also discuss the band's recording lineup, the recording process, and the artwork of the album.
